Academic probation may follow warnings
is warnings usually ac-count
for the largest num-ber
of notices issued, said
Duck.
Academic probation
'comes after warnings, fol-lowed
by final probation,
which notifies a student
that he/she is still not
meeting the stipulations
set by the registrar when
he/she was first put on
academic probation. Dis-missal
follows if students
can not meet the final pro-bation
demands.
Twelve students were
dismissed at the end of fall
term, according to the
Registrar's office, and
Duck said about 50 more
dismissals will occur at
the end of spring semes-ter.
A student can appeal
his/her dismissal to the

for review and possible

Bethel students are con-sidered
achieving mini-mum
academic progress
when they have a GPA of
at least 2.00 and complete
at least 75 per cent of their
courses during a semester,
according to the registra-tion
catalogue. When these
minimum standards are
not met, students receive
notice that they are below
the requirements needed
to graduate.
"The academic proba-tion
system is designed to
identify and help students
who are not making pro-gress
toward a degree,"
the catalogue states. Stu-dents
are notified by aca-demic
warning slips in
their POs. These are often
accompanied by a note
from- Marilyn Starr that
suggests they sign up for
an academic study group.
"When I got an acade-mic
warning notice in my
PO in my sophomore year
it really shook me," said
one student, "It made me
look again at my priori-ties,
and also encouraged
me to get some help in
studying." Since then the
student has reported im-provement
in her GPA and
in her general study habits.
Chester Duck, registrar,
reported that approxi-mately
170 students were
issued academic warnings
during the fall semester.
"Many freshmen received
warnings," said Duck,"
often because of the in-creased
level of academic
requirements at college. A
student may be valedictor-ian
of his/her high school
graduating class, but in a
much larger setting it is
not so easy."
If there is no improve-ment
in a student's per-formance
after one semes-ter
he/she is then placed
on academic probation.
This probation occurs
when "minimum academic
progress is not made for
two consecutive terms," ac-cording
to the registration
catalogue.
If juniors or seniors fall
below 2.00 in their cumu-lative
GPA or if in their
senior year they fall below
2.25 in their area of spe-cialization,
probation can
also result.
Around 60 people were
put on academic probation
fall semester, according to
Duck.
A student is removed
from academic probation
when minimum progress
in classes has been met,
and he/she achieves at
least a 2.25 GPA in his/her
area of specialization.
Students must rank in
the upper half of the high
school graduating class to
be admitted. Some appli-cants
may be permitted to
enter Bethel as provi-sional
students.
"We let these students
in on the condition that
they do better work," said
Duck. They must have a
GPA of 2.25 in order to
remain at Bethel. The aca-demic
policies committee
is currently working on a
revision that may change
the minimum GPA re-quirements
for provisional
students.
Although college policy
has no set order for aca-demic
progress warnings,
Duck has set up a guide-line
that he follows "to the
letter," he said. Students
are first issued warnings,
which are compiled in the
Registrar's office at the end
of each semester. Warn-ings
are automatically is-sued
to students with
GPAs under 2.00; academ-by

"REAGAN COMES TO
TWIN CITIES" read the
flyers handed out at Beth-el
the week before the
President's Feb. 8 visit.
Some 15-20 Bethel stu-dents
were on hand to
"greet" him for varied rea-sons.
One group of students
was given to the oppor-tunity
to attend the rally
for Durenburger. Janice
Hougen, the Bethel coor-dinator

stayed to enjoy.
The Bethel Jazz Band
was first on the program
at 12:00. At 1:00, a barber-shop
quartet from the
Male Chorus took the
stage.
Bluegrass music lovers
went wild as the Kolbrek
sisters (Michele, age 13,
and Heather, age 12) fid-the
rally.
Judy Hougen said, "We
were expected to maintain
an high level of excitement
throughout the rally. All
of us were spread out at
different tables and some
people were even given
programs with cues for
'spontaneous cheering,'
though I don't think that
was really necessary."
Both Hougens said that
it was very exciting. "I
mean," Janice Hougen stat-ed,
"it was really neat just
to be in the same room
with the President,"
Meanwhile, across the
street from the Carlton Ce-lebrity
Room where the
rally was held was an-other
group of students.
About 10-12 Bethel stu-dents
joined around 4000

says, "It was gre .at to see
that there were that many
people who were willing
to brave the cold to come,

Anderson saw the mood
of the crowd as one of
solidarity. He says that
there was a lot of anger,
but it was very non-violent.
There were a lot of
signs, and some chanting.
One of the chants went,

said.
Both Tanquist and An-derson

editorial
Student-run Clarion
necessary for Bethel
The Clarion has been a part of Bethel since 1926. It,
and the college, have changed a lot since then. But the
purpose of the paper has remained relatively constant.
The Clarion, a student-run newspaper, is the cam-pus'
only regularly published, campus-wide medium.
Its function is to inform its reader of incidents, events
and attitudes in the community and to reflect and
record the history of the campus. The newspaper can
and does increase school (community) unity and spirit.
It also has the potential to effect changes for the good of
the community.
The Clarion, like all other aspects of the campus, is
expected to do its job within the context of the college
mission statement found on page 5 of the 1981-82
catalog. That means that the duty of the editors and
advisor is to keep the newspaper at a level that brings
credit to the college and is in harmony with the college
mission.
The statement includes the expectation "that stu-dents
learn to...evaluate and understand the world and
society in which they live, to exercise critical judgment,
to be intellectually alert, and to work effectively with
others."
The Clarion staff solicits, writes and edits its own
stories in light of the college guidelines. The stories are
not censored by non-students before publication.
Lack of censorship seems to disturb some people.
However, freedom of the press on campus is in har-mony
with the first amendment right to free press and
with the college's mission.
The editorial staff is selected and advised by the
Student Senate Communications Board. The board
does not act as a censor but as a board of directors—
encouraging, criticizing and advising. The staff is
expected to act in accordance with the good faith with
which it was selected.
Part of the function of a student newspaper is to
provide its staff with an education in the workings and
methodology of a community newspaper.
In the attempt to maintain high standards the editor-ial
staff works together to make decisions. Editors
question one another and ask each other for advice and
criticism. In a sense the editors provide their own cen-sorship
in the attempt to put out an accurate, honest
and representative news publication.
Still the Clarion staff makes mistakes. But freedom of
the press must include the freedom to choose as well as
the freedom to make honest mistakes. That, too, is part
of a liberal arts education.

Klaudt Unnamed culprit causes community alarm
OP.e.P.
by Janice Woodard
An incident involving
fire equipment which oc-cured
in Edgren dorm dur-ing
December may result
in the entire dorm re-ceiving
disc points.
According to Bob Mer-ritt,
RD of Edgren, a num-ber
of fire extinguishers
were discharged in the
men's stairway at 3 a.m.,
which jumped the fire
alarm.
The fire extinguishers
contain a chemical mix-ture,
which appears
smoky and can cause
harm to the eyes.
The administration is
still looking for the person
or persons who set off the
alarm, said Merritt. "We
haven't found anyone who
knows anything about it,"
he said.
No final decision has
been made as to the form
of punishment. It will de-pend
upon whether the re-sponsible
party or parties
own up to it or not. "We
will deal with the offense
ourselves," said Rod Long,
. director of housing. "We
have never gone so far as
to turn someone in."
If the identity of the
offender(s) is not revealed,
there is talk of giving disc
points to the entire dorm,
according to Long. "This
would mean that the whole
dorm would be taking the
responsibility," said Long.
The administration em-by

number of student resi-dents
during the semester

There are many spaces
available right now in off-campus
apartments. There
are 15 openings at Bright-on
Village, 25 at Fountain
Terrace, and 55 at Silver-crest.
These spots were as-signed
at the beginning of
fall semester, but not all

of housing.
phasizes that tampering
with fire equipment is not
appropriate behavior.
"Whether students want
to `rat' on their friends or
not, it is a community res-ponsibility,"
said Long.
"Lives may be endan-gered."
The process of looking
for the offender(s) in-cludes
holding dorm meet-ings
and working through
RAs.
Gigi Adams, RA of third
floor Edgren, feels that the
administration is taking
the wrong approach if they

have moved out of
Bethel housing is because
they are leaving school.
Nine out of ten students
leaving school do so be-cause
of finances, ac-cording
to Long. Other stu-dents
move out be-cause
they can find cheap-er
housing elsewhere.
"If students can group
with other students, if
they have their own furni-ture
and transportation,
they can rent a cheaper
apartment," said Long.
Students are also mov-ing

of the cheaper rate
don't haul off the entire
neighborhood for it," she
said. "But I can understand
their concern."
Adams met with the wo-men
on her floor and ex-plained
the importance of
the situation. "I encour-aged
them to come and tell
us if they know anything
about it," she said.
This has been the second
false alarm this year, ac-cording
to Merritt. A major
problem is that students
slept through the second
alarm, thinking it was
false.
According to Long, re-peated
false alarms may
also result in the fire de-and
the convenience.
Long believes that a
number of the students
have moved home and are
commuting to school.
"42 per cent of the stu-dent
body lives within 30
miles of home," said Long.
"They could commute if
they had to."
The number of students
leaving Bethel housing is
about the same as last
year. According to Long,
116 students have moved
out.

cost $1095 per year,
that is, $547.50 per semester.
On-campus housing is

partment not taking the
call seriously.
Interfering with fire e-quipment
is a serious of-fense.
"Tampering with fire
equipment is a misde-meanor
on the local level
with a minimum of $300
fine and 90 days in jail,"
said Dick Vernon, a local
fire inspector.
Students in both Edgren
and Bodien have also been
causing problems with the
smoke detectors, accord-ing
to Long.
"We have found the de-tectors
covered with shav-ing
cream, sprayed with
aerosol spray, or missing
the 9-volt battery," said
Long. "These detectors are
not your K-mart special,
they cost $90 each. Once
they are ruined, they have
to be replaced."
There is a concern. sy-stem-
wide among the ad-ministration
relating to fire
regulation. "We are looking
into better forms of regu-lation,"
said Long. "This
year we've upgraded the
fire equipment and proce-dures
in the residences.
Each residence has a set
fire escape plan."
Long urges students to
say something if they have
any information concern-ing
the incident. "If people
don't tell what they know,
they are just as responsible
as the party who com-mitted
the act."
Bethel apartments tend
to be expensive because
Bethel pays market-rate
rent, leases furniture,
provides bus service, and
provides large liability
and personal property
protection.
According to Long, 75
per cent of the student
body was housed by Beth-el
during the first se-mester.

Archeological dig unearths
fallen city's worship centers
by Kraig Klaudt
REPORT TO THE GLOBAL ARCHEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY, by Dr. Hyman Flyngruber, February 28,
2421.
On Monday, February 18, 2421, a dig site was estab-lished
on the northern sector of the ancient city of Paul,
within one kilometer of where the holy shrine of the
Golden Arches was recently uncovered.
After removing 20 meters of earth, our team of
archeologists entered into a large worship hall named
Home Away room. The entire temple was vacant, save
an orb of leather on the floor. It is assumed that "Wil-son,"
as it was known to the tribe, was an object of a
great worship rite. Other manuscripts lead us to believe
that attendance for this ritual was not required.
Beneath this chamber is located the arsenal for the
warriors of this civilization. Hand-carved clubs of var-ious
styles along with animal skin projectiles were
among the weapons found. The intricately crafted iron
statue of Nautilus, the god of strength, was also identi-fied.
It is known that the warriors would spend long
hours prostrating themselves before this deity preced-ing
battle with rival nationals.
On Tuesday, entrance was gained into undoubtedly
the most honored room of the city; the Kaby room. Here
the most important religious thoughts of the day were
preserved, undisturbed, on polyurethane disk. Though
not all of the collected works of theologians Evie and
Honeytree have been translated, those profundities
which have, like "Four-foot eleven and I'm going to
heaven," and "Go to church if you're uptight, go to
church morning, noon and night," will undoubtedly
shake the foundations of the neo-neo-new, improved
neo-evangelical theology of our time.
Mention should be made of the marvelous artwork
which graces the city of Welcome Founders, as we
believe it was called. Elaborate, white mosaic tiles of
intricate detail decorate every ceiling while the walls
are ornamented with individually hand-crafted bricks.
The exterior design of the buildings can be seen to be
pointing southward toward the puzzling Mammoth
Shell. It has been suggested that the buildings served to
guide spaceships in that direction.
Beyond the moat which surrounds the city there is a
large lot in the shape of a circle. We have called it the
"circle lot," although the ancients likely had a more
sophisticated title for it. On this lot, a gigantic collection
of metal sculptures of mammals was found. Forms of
the cougar, the mustang, the pontiac (now extinct) and
the pinto have been identified.
It remains a mystery what caused the demise of this
once great city. Did its citizens starve slowly to death in
their fortress of fear of barbarians around them? Or did
they simply abandon their city in apathy? Did this
civilization, like so many others, rot from decaying
morals? Or did it crumble under the weight of its own
legalism? Or was it another case of a city sold to the Job
Corps for profit?
Whatever the cause, it reminds us to again ask the
question, "What are great cities made of?"

Campus Crusade pro-vides
a practical chance
for students to share their
faith in Christ with others
by witnessing at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. Bill
Andrews, director of Cam-pus
Crusade, said, "Our
main purpose is to train
students in the basics of
sharing their faith in
Christ so that by the time
they leave Bethel, witness-ing
will be a way of life for
them."
To aid this training pro-cess,
Andrews has started

Some of the most satis-fying
concerts I've been to
are those where I've been
totally surprised by the
performer. On Friday, Feb.
12, I went to the Andy
Pratt concert expecting a
couple hours of good but
easily forgettable enter-tainment.
Instead, I got a
dynamic performance of
sparkling, original songs.
Mark Heard's brief open-ing
set was enjoyable.
Mark Heard is a Georgian
singer-songwriter-guitar-ist.
His southern roots are
evident in his gutsy vocal
style, which resembles
Dickey Betts, formerly of
the Allman Brothers. On
the softer songs his voice
is similar to Neil Young.
The spirited rockers
such as "Growin' Up
Blind" and pleasant bal-lads
like "Divine Love" ex-hibited
his songwriting
knack. His naive tongue-in-
cheek sense of humor
and his satirical songs "I'm
In Chains" and "Be Like
Your Radio" highlighted
his performance.
Andy Pratt, though new
in the Christian music
scene, is not a new artist.
He has been around since
the early 70's and has five
albums out. He even yield-ed
an FM hit, "Avenging
Annie," in 1972.
While_ he was hailed by
critics in reputable maga-zines
such as Rolling
Stone as an innovative
force in rock music during
the 70's, Pratt was lar-gely
ingnored by conser-vative
American radio and
the record-buying public.
Mass appeal is often not a
reliable measure of good
art.
One of the assets out of
which Pratt's artistry
flows is his sincerity. This
was displayed in his per-formance
Friday night. He
is a meek and shy person
who seems uncomfortable
in verbalizing his thoughts
to the audience when he
isn't singing. He doesn't
try to hide his insecurities
by trying to be funny. He
isn't out to preach ser-monettes
between songs.
But when Pratt communi-cated
his testimony to the
audience before the song
"You Chose Me," his great
thankfulness in the saving
grace of God was evident.
He spoke in total honesty
and humility instead of
trying to conjure up some-thing
clever.
When Pratt was per-forming
his songs I never
got the feeling that he was
trying to perform for the
audience. The concert
seemed like an emotional
release for him. When he
sang and played, all of his
pent-up insecurities, joys,
and spiritual concerns
came to the surface for all
to see. His eyes weren't
looking outward at the au-dience
trying to make eye
contact with them as he
sang. They were looking
inside himself making con-tact
with his inner, most
personal feelings. It is only
a true artist that is willing
to be that vulnerable with
his audience.
Pratt is an especially
gifted singer and songwri-ter.
He showed great var-iety
in the compositions
he played. The opening
songs, "Karen's Song" and
"Rainbow," were straight-ahead
joyful rockers.
"Burn in the Fire," "Paper
Money," and "Fun in the
First World" were more
intense rock songs with
disturbing messages.
"Waiting For You" was
reminiscent of Super-tramp
and had a desperate
feel to it.
Pratt also did some sen-sitive
and affecting ballads
such as"Now We Are One"
and "You Chose Me." His
songs were all notable in
their intricate, glistening
arrangements and variety
of textures. They had in-fectious,
clever hooks that
would leap out and en-thrall
the audience.
Pratt's voice is one of
the most unique I've ever
heard. It has great range
and versatility. It is able
to pierce, soothe and melt.
On songs such as "Burn in
the Fire" and "Fun in the
First World" Pratt belted
out the apocalyptic mes-sage
with passion that
penetrated into the hard-est
areas of the heart. On
songs like "Who Will Be
My Friend" and "You
Chose Me," his voice com-forted
with its delicacy
and vulnerabilty. "Aveng-ing
Annie" and "Summer
Summer" displayed his
out-of-this-world falsetto.
Pratt's voice resembled
Larry Norman's some-times
and even had a
shade of Leon Russell—
for what comparisions are
worth.
Throughout the concert
Pratt showed his prowess
on the piano. On most of
his songs the piano was
the driving force of the
band. His improvisational
talents were shown in the
jazz-tinged solos on
"Thinking Thoughts" and
"All I Want Is You." He
also played acoustic gui-tar
with skill on "Now We
Are One" and "Who Will
Be My Friend."
Pratt's singing, song-writing
and playing was
accented by his profes-sional,
tight-Sounding
band. The lead guitarist
had a hard-rocking razor-sharp
sound, without
sounding heavy-metalish.
He had a great sense of the
appropriate leads and rhy-thyms
to interject in the
songs—there was a con-ciseness
in this playing.
His solos on songs such as
"All I Want Is You" were
climactic and imaginative.
The drums were compli-mentary
in laying down a
solid foundation for the
rest of the band.
There also was an extra
keyboard player who add-ed
another layer of color
with his synthesizer. The
keyboard and bass player
added some nice back-ground
vocal harmonies.
The band played as a unit
and gave a fresh, crisp,
enthusiastic performance.

It is hard to tell where
you might find Judy Mose-man,
assistant profes-sor
of education at Bethel,
at any given moment.
You might find her
playing football or bas-ketball
with her family.
Or you might find her
placing and supervising
education students in area
schools. But no matter
where you might find her
she would be doing one of
the many things required
to run a home and a career.
Moseman said it is chal-lenging
trying to balance
her family and profes-sional
commitments, "but
life would be nothing
without challenges," she
said with a smile. Al-though
she has worked
part-time since her first
child was six months old,
this is her first year in a
full-time position.
After graduating from
Bethel with "senior panic"
she met her husband
Steve while they were
both teaching at the same
school. Steve is presently
Dean at Capitol View
Middle School in Rose-ville.
The Mosemans have
three children: Heather,
12; Bart, 11; and Jed, 5.
Each summer the entire
family takes off to go
camping. The aim of these
camping trips, besides
relaxation and vacation,
is spiritual renewal and a
chance to really grow as a
family.
Before coming to Bethel
this year Moseman worked
in a similar position on a

This statement by sen-ior
debater Rick Kreutz-feldt
characterized the
Bethel College debate
team's recent visit to the
Valentine's Day Invita-tional
at Austin Peay Uni-versity
in Clarksville,
Tennessee.
The team attended the
debate tournament Feb-ruary
11 - 14 and competed
against top teams in the
southern part of the Uni-ted
States.
In the sixteen rounds of
preliminary competiton,
Bethel forged out an 8-8
record. Both teams ended
with an even 4 -4 record.
Representing the college
part-time basis at the Col-lege
of St. Catherines. In
deciding whether to stay
at St. Catherine's or come
to Bethel, Moseman said
she learned that the most
important thing in seek-ing
God's will was "not a
particular location but
rather that the commit-ment
to Christ was pre-sent."
Moseman said that
her choice of Bethel was a
family decision. "They
are delighted in my being
here," she said.
Moseman said her goal
as a teacher at Bethel is
"to motivate students to
be the best teachers pos-sible
and to teach them to
express their Christiani-ty."
She said, "I am so
pleased to see such an
extremely positive re-sponse
when I'm visiting
schools in which educa-tion
majors are doing their
student teaching."
The few spare moments
Moseman has are primar-ily
spent with her family.
She also works with 4-H
clubs and co-directs the 4-
H play in the spring. She
and her hu-sband teach the
Eager Beavers, a group of
kindergarteners through
second graders, at Salem
Baptist Church. Moseman
strives to spend her time
in activities in which her
children can also be in-volved.
Moseman graduated
from Bethel in 1965. She
earned her M.A. degree in
Education at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in 1978.
Taking a few classes at a
time, she hopes to com-plete
her doctorate there
but says this is a long-range
goal.

This `kachina' doll is one of 150 such carved figures which
exemplify the ceremonial splendor of the Hopi Indian religion.
It is part of an exhibit entitled "Hopi Kachina: Spirit of Life."
"Hopi Kachina: Spirit of
Life", a major exhibition
that pays homage to the
unique culture of Arizo-na's
Hopi Indians, opens
at the Science Museum of
Minnesota February 13,
and will continue through
May 31.
To the Hopi people the
kachina (spirit messen-gers)
have been central to
religious and ceremonial
life for centuries. Carved
representations, or ka-china
dolls, are used as
symbols of fertility. The
vitality of kachina rituals
and the central role they
play in Hopi life, past and
present, is conveyed in this
exhibition through music,
audio slide-shows and
more than 150 kachina
dolls.
In addition to the ka-china
dolls, there are two
large-scale models of vil-lages
depicting major ka-china
ceremonial events, a
full-scale Kiva (under-ground
ceremonial cham-ber)
hatchway and en-trance
ladder, and large
photomurals of kachina
dancers taken at the turn
of the century. Costumes
and ceremonial parapher-nalia
are shown along with
ceramics, jewelry, basket-ry,
and textiles. These
elements come together to
pregent a vibrant picture
of the lifeways of the Hopi.
"Hopi Kachina: Spirit of
Life" will be open during
museum hours: 9:30 am.
through 9 p.m. Tuesday
through Saturday, and 11

Carpenter shop workers
Dan Miller and Charlie
Peterman have a perspec-tive
on Bethel College that
most students don't have.
"I see aspects of the build-ing
that most people don't
see," said Miller. "I get to
work in places like the
boiler room, above the ceil-ings,
in the steam tunnel
at the seminary—I get to
see the nitty-gritty side of
school."
Miller, a 1980 Bethel
graduate, is in his second
year as a full-time worker
in the carpenter shop.
Peterman, who has been
working at Bethel since
1965, is now a part-time
worker since retiring a
year and a half ago.
"Most of the work we do
is fixing broken furniture,
such as repairing chairs
and tables in the coffee
shop," said Peterman. "But
we also fix doors, replace
the broken coat hanger
pegs, hang bulletin boards
and black boards and do
special projects such as
making shelves, construct-ing
something for the Wel-come
Week staff or for the
Christmas Festival."

conference meet Saturday,
Feb. 13.
Russ Reynolds, Ben Mc-

each finished second in
their weight classes at the
meet, thereby qualifying
for the national meet in
Oregon, March 3 - 6.

of an upset that he lost."

four players score in dou-ble
digits and three more
players with 8 points

the game-winning bas-ket),
and pulling down 12
rebounds. He also shared
in the assist honors with
Billy Lawson at seven

Velgersdyk scored 14
points before fouling out
with 7:37 left in the game.

wrestler whom he defeated

Schwab advanced to the
finals only to be beaten

Hockey squad drops
three of four games
by John Clark
A schedule that would
throw fear even into the
hearts of seasoned NHL
veterans dealt a serious
blow to the Bethel Hockey
team's post-season play
hopes as the Royals drop-ped
three games in the
four contests played Feb.
8-12.
The week began well
enough as the Royals de-feated
the University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire, 4-3
in overtime with Jim La-
Porte netting the winning
goal. Unfortunately for
Bethel things took a turn
for the worse as fatigue
took its toll and resulted
in three straight confer-ence
losses.
On successive days
Bethel was dealt 6-4 de-feats
to Hamline and St.
Mary's respectively. An
extra day off didn't seem
to help the Royals as they
again were defeated, this
time by St. Thomas 3-1.
"We just weren't able to
put a consistent game to-gether,"
said Royal Coach
Craig Dahl in reviewing
the week. "That has been
by Wendy Norberg
Bethel's tracksters had
a very successful showing
in a triangular meet a-gainst
St. Olaf and the
University of Wisconsin-
River Falls last Saturday.
The Royal men scored 52
points to come between
St. Olaf with 80 and River
Falls with 33. And with
only 9 competitors the wo-men's
third place finish
was no indication of their
true performance.
Two first places were
turned in by the Bethel
women. Laurie Staurseth
won the 60 yard hurdles in
9.08, her first attempt at
that event. Co-captain
Danette Burgess ran 7.52
to dominate the 60 yard
dash. She then went on to
take third in the 300 yard
dash.
The Royals also took se-cond
place in both the shot
put and the 2 mile run.
Sara Barker threw 37'8",
her best effort this season,
and co-captain Wendy
Norberg ran her best time
of an 11:42.8.
Other personal records
were turned in by Penny
our problem all season
even when we win."
The three straight con-ference
defeats to the
MIAC lower division
teams were also tough to
swallow as the Royals'
playoff aspirations were
jeopardized,
"If we had won those
games we could have solid-ified
our position," said
Dahl, "but now Bethel's
chance for a postseason
berth is still up in the air."
Now Bethel faces the
difficult task of trying to
make the playoffs against
the MIAC's league leaders.
A crucial -home and home
series tonight and Satur-day
could decide the Roy-als'
fate as they take on
St. Olaf.
"It'll come down to how
well our goaltender does,"
said Dahl of the Royals'
chances.
Tonight's game will be

its regular season Tues-day
when the Royals go
on the road to play St.
John's.
Marshall in the shot
(32'31 1/2"), Norberg in the
1500 (5:08.9), and Kim
Laird in the 300 (45.4).
Two more men qualified
for the Indoor National
meet, which highlighted
the men's events. "Satch"
Shaheed easily won the 60
yard dash in 6.41. and
Dave Jorgenson finished
second in the 600 in 1:15.3.
They will join Joe Moer-kerke
and Tom Plocker in
the Kansas City competi-tion
in two weeks.
Andy Larson also ran
well, taking second behind
Shaheed in the 60 yard
dash. But it was a day for
the middle distance run-ners,
as Bethel seemed to
dominate every race from
the 300 to the 600 yard
runs.
In the 300 Mike Dirks
took first in 33.5 followed
by teammate Jay Consta-ble
with a personal best of
34.2. Kurt Harle covered
fourth place in 34.8. Tom
Plocker won the 400 meter
dash in 51.2 and Dirks ran
again for third in that
event.

When Bethel traveled to
Northfield to play St. Olaf
the Olies were on an up-surge.
Their upsurge was
postponed by the Royal
team on a streak of its
own, and Bethel crushed
St. Olaf 100-77.
The Royals began the
romp by amassing a 26-4
lead eight minutes into the
game. St. Olaf did not
reach double-figure scor-
Jay VanLoon swept second
through fourth, respec-tively.
Topping off the
meet, the mile relay of Jor-genson,
Constable, Plocker
and Dirks won with an
exciting "from the gut ef-fort"
after each man on the
relay had previously com-peted
in at least two
events.
Bethel was also victor-ious
on the field as Eric
Marquardt, Doug Gamble,
and Tim Copeland took
second through fourth in
the shot put. First and
second places went to
Moerkerke and Mike Ren-strom
in the high jump.
Both jumped 6'6", which
was a freshman record for
Renstrom. Second place in
the triple jump went to
Steinar Engebretsen with
a 13.25 meter effort.
Both the men's and wo-men's
results could be
summed up in coach An-derson's
words, "Every-body
turned in good indi-vidual
efforts and seemed
to really give it their best."

Cloud tonight (Feb. 19) and

ing until there were .nine
minutes remaining in the
first half. Meanwhile
Bethel, substituting fre-quently,
ran up 57 points
in the first half. Jason Vel-gersdyk
dominated the
game by scoring 24 points
and collecting ten re-bounds
in the first half.
Velgersdyk finished the
game with 31 points and
16 rebounds, a season
high.
The Royals continued to
lead in the second half by
as much as 35 at 75-40. As
a team Bethel shot 56 per
cent from the field. The
top three scorers for the
Royals shot very well: Vel-gersdyk-
65 per cent, An-dre
LaBerge-67 per cent
(and 15 points), and Dion
Wolter-an unusually good
75 per cent with 10 points.
In the assist depart-ment,
Bethel played its
best game of the year with
28 assists led by Billy Law-son's
eight and "Cat" Lau-ers
with seven.
Coach Palke used all 15
players in the contest.
Thirteen Royals took part
in the scoring; Randy Co-vert's
short jumper put the
Royals at the century
mark.
Last Saturday's Feb. 13,

Adolphus turned
out to be a one-point vic-tory.
Coach Palke does not
believe it should have been
that close. The Royals
missed 17 or'23 free throw
attempts during the game
(including 13 of 15 in the
second half.) Bethel's 18
turnovers to the Gusties'
nine did not help matters.
Despite negative statistics

team record
by Mitch Anderson
With a pair of 9 point
victories over tough MIAC
rivals St. Olaf and Gusta-vus
Adolphus, the Bethel
women's basketball team
has won four straight
games to post a 9-7 record.
Sue Duehn led the Roy-als
both offensively and
defensively in the 74-65
win over the Olies, who
had defeated 11 of 13 op-ponents
this year. Duehn
scored 18 points and li-mited
the Olies' leading
scorer to 4 points.
The Bethel offensive
was clicking, as the four
Royals scored in double
figures.
The Royals worked just
as hard defensively, "We
shut off their two best
scorers and the rest of the
team could not pick up the
slack," said Coach Carol
Girdler.
Sharon Huisinga scored
22 points and Karen Al-meroth
poured in 14 points
and grabbed 14 rebounds
in the 65-55 win over the
visiting Gusties.
Both were key victories
in Bethel's drive for the
MIAIW state tournament
the end of February. With
only Hamline (Feb. 16, the
last home game of the sea-son),
Northwestern (Feb.
18), and Eau Claire (Feb.
23) left to play, the Royals

close as the score would
indicate.
Bethel controlled the tern-po
from the outset by scor-ing
the first three baskets
of the game. In fact, Bethel
scored on seven of its first
nine possessions. Gusta-vus
was trying to get its
offense moving while the
Royals' offense poured in
25 field goals in the first
half at a 67 per cent clip.
Bethel had a 54-41 lead at
intermission.
The deciding factor for
the game may have been
Bethel's proficiency in
scoring nine baskets in the
last ten possessions of the
half. This was crucial, as
the Gusties outscored
Bethel by 12 points in the
second half.

Duck.

Bethel students are con-sidered
achieving mini-mum
academic progress
when they have a GPA of
at least 2.00 and complete
at least 75 per cent of their
courses during a semester,
according to the registra-tion
catalogue. When these
minimum standards are
not met, students receive
notice that they are below
the requirements needed
to graduate.
"The academic proba-tion
system is designed to
identify and help students
who are not making pro-gress
toward a degree,"
the catalogue states. Stu-dents
are notified by aca-demic
warning slips in
their POs. These are often
accompanied by a note
from- Marilyn Starr that
suggests they sign up for
an academic study group.
"When I got an acade-mic
warning notice in my
PO in my sophomore year
it really shook me," said
one student, "It made me
look again at my priori-ties,
and also encouraged
me to get some help in
studying." Since then the
student has reported im-provement
in her GPA and
in her general study habits.
Chester Duck, registrar,
reported that approxi-mately
170 students were
issued academic warnings
during the fall semester.
"Many freshmen received
warnings," said Duck,"
often because of the in-creased
level of academic
requirements at college. A
student may be valedictor-ian
of his/her high school
graduating class, but in a
much larger setting it is
not so easy."
If there is no improve-ment
in a student's per-formance
after one semes-ter
he/she is then placed
on academic probation.
This probation occurs
when "minimum academic
progress is not made for
two consecutive terms," ac-cording
to the registration
catalogue.
If juniors or seniors fall
below 2.00 in their cumu-lative
GPA or if in their
senior year they fall below
2.25 in their area of spe-cialization,
probation can
also result.
Around 60 people were
put on academic probation
fall semester, according to
Duck.
A student is removed
from academic probation
when minimum progress
in classes has been met,
and he/she achieves at
least a 2.25 GPA in his/her
area of specialization.
Students must rank in
the upper half of the high
school graduating class to
be admitted. Some appli-cants
may be permitted to
enter Bethel as provi-sional
students.
"We let these students
in on the condition that
they do better work," said
Duck. They must have a
GPA of 2.25 in order to
remain at Bethel. The aca-demic
policies committee
is currently working on a
revision that may change
the minimum GPA re-quirements
for provisional
students.
Although college policy
has no set order for aca-demic
progress warnings,
Duck has set up a guide-line
that he follows "to the
letter," he said. Students
are first issued warnings,
which are compiled in the
Registrar's office at the end
of each semester. Warn-ings
are automatically is-sued
to students with
GPAs under 2.00; academ-by

"REAGAN COMES TO

flyers handed out at Beth-el
the week before the
President's Feb. 8 visit.
Some 15-20 Bethel stu-dents

The Bethel Jazz Band
was first on the program
at 12:00. At 1:00, a barber-shop
quartet from the
Male Chorus took the
stage.
Bluegrass music lovers
went wild as the Kolbrek
sisters (Michele, age 13,
and Heather, age 12) fid-the
rally.
Judy Hougen said, "We
were expected to maintain
an high level of excitement
throughout the rally. All
of us were spread out at
different tables and some
people were even given
programs with cues for
'spontaneous cheering,'
though I don't think that
was really necessary."
Both Hougens said that
it was very exciting. "I

"it was really neat just
to be in the same room

Meanwhile, across the

Anderson saw the mood

editorial
Student-run Clarion
necessary for Bethel
The Clarion has been a part of Bethel since 1926. It,
and the college, have changed a lot since then. But the
purpose of the paper has remained relatively constant.
The Clarion, a student-run newspaper, is the cam-pus'
only regularly published, campus-wide medium.
Its function is to inform its reader of incidents, events
and attitudes in the community and to reflect and
record the history of the campus. The newspaper can
and does increase school (community) unity and spirit.
It also has the potential to effect changes for the good of
the community.
The Clarion, like all other aspects of the campus, is
expected to do its job within the context of the college
mission statement found on page 5 of the 1981-82
catalog. That means that the duty of the editors and
advisor is to keep the newspaper at a level that brings
credit to the college and is in harmony with the college
mission.
The statement includes the expectation "that stu-dents
learn to...evaluate and understand the world and
society in which they live, to exercise critical judgment,
to be intellectually alert, and to work effectively with
others."
The Clarion staff solicits, writes and edits its own
stories in light of the college guidelines. The stories are
not censored by non-students before publication.
Lack of censorship seems to disturb some people.
However, freedom of the press on campus is in har-mony
with the first amendment right to free press and
with the college's mission.
The editorial staff is selected and advised by the
Student Senate Communications Board. The board
does not act as a censor but as a board of directors—
encouraging, criticizing and advising. The staff is
expected to act in accordance with the good faith with
which it was selected.
Part of the function of a student newspaper is to
provide its staff with an education in the workings and
methodology of a community newspaper.
In the attempt to maintain high standards the editor-ial
staff works together to make decisions. Editors
question one another and ask each other for advice and
criticism. In a sense the editors provide their own cen-sorship
in the attempt to put out an accurate, honest
and representative news publication.
Still the Clarion staff makes mistakes. But freedom of
the press must include the freedom to choose as well as
the freedom to make honest mistakes. That, too, is part
of a liberal arts education.

Klaudt Unnamed culprit causes community alarm
OP.e.P.
by Janice Woodard
An incident involving
fire equipment which oc-cured
in Edgren dorm dur-ing
December may result
in the entire dorm re-ceiving
disc points.
According to Bob Mer-ritt,
RD of Edgren, a num-ber
of fire extinguishers
were discharged in the
men's stairway at 3 a.m.,
which jumped the fire
alarm.
The fire extinguishers
contain a chemical mix-ture,
which appears
smoky and can cause
harm to the eyes.
The administration is
still looking for the person
or persons who set off the
alarm, said Merritt. "We
haven't found anyone who
knows anything about it,"
he said.
No final decision has
been made as to the form
of punishment. It will de-pend
upon whether the re-sponsible
party or parties
own up to it or not. "We
will deal with the offense
ourselves," said Rod Long,
. director of housing. "We
have never gone so far as
to turn someone in."
If the identity of the
offender(s) is not revealed,
there is talk of giving disc
points to the entire dorm,
according to Long. "This
would mean that the whole
dorm would be taking the
responsibility," said Long.
The administration em-by

number of student resi-dents
during the semester

There are many spaces
available right now in off-campus
apartments. There
are 15 openings at Bright-on
Village, 25 at Fountain
Terrace, and 55 at Silver-crest.
These spots were as-signed
at the beginning of
fall semester, but not all

of housing.
phasizes that tampering
with fire equipment is not
appropriate behavior.
"Whether students want
to `rat' on their friends or
not, it is a community res-ponsibility,"
said Long.
"Lives may be endan-gered."
The process of looking
for the offender(s) in-cludes
holding dorm meet-ings
and working through
RAs.
Gigi Adams, RA of third
floor Edgren, feels that the
administration is taking
the wrong approach if they

The primary reason stu-dents
have moved out of
Bethel housing is because
they are leaving school.
Nine out of ten students
leaving school do so be-cause
of finances, ac-cording
to Long. Other stu-dents
move out be-cause
they can find cheap-er
housing elsewhere.
"If students can group
with other students, if
they have their own furni-ture
and transportation,
they can rent a cheaper
apartment," said Long.
Students are also mov-ing
from the apartments
into campus housing be-cause
of the cheaper rate
don't haul off the entire
neighborhood for it," she
said. "But I can understand
their concern."
Adams met with the wo-men
on her floor and ex-plained
the importance of
the situation. "I encour-aged
them to come and tell
us if they know anything
about it," she said.
This has been the second
false alarm this year, ac-cording
to Merritt. A major
problem is that students
slept through the second
alarm, thinking it was
false.
According to Long, re-peated
false alarms may
also result in the fire de-and
the convenience.
Long believes that a
number of the students
have moved home and are
commuting to school.
"42 per cent of the stu-dent
body lives within 30
miles of home," said Long.
"They could commute if
they had to."
The number of students
leaving Bethel housing is
about the same as last
year. According to Long,
116 students have moved
out.
This year Bethel apart-ments
cost $1095 per year,
that is, $547.50 per semester.
On-campus housing is

semester.
partment not taking the
call seriously.
Interfering with fire e-quipment
is a serious of-fense.
"Tampering with fire
equipment is a misde-meanor
on the local level
with a minimum of $300
fine and 90 days in jail,"
said Dick Vernon, a local
fire inspector.
Students in both Edgren
and Bodien have also been
causing problems with the
smoke detectors, accord-ing
to Long.
"We have found the de-tectors
covered with shav-ing
cream, sprayed with
aerosol spray, or missing
the 9-volt battery," said
Long. "These detectors are
not your K-mart special,
they cost $90 each. Once
they are ruined, they have
to be replaced."
There is a concern. sy-stem-
wide among the ad-ministration
relating to fire
regulation. "We are looking
into better forms of regu-lation,"
said Long. "This
year we've upgraded the
fire equipment and proce-dures
in the residences.
Each residence has a set
fire escape plan."
Long urges students to
say something if they have
any information concern-ing
the incident. "If people
don't tell what they know,
they are just as responsible
as the party who com-mitted
the act."
Bethel apartments tend
to be expensive because
Bethel pays market-rate
rent, leases furniture,
provides bus service, and
provides large liability
and personal property
protection.
According to Long, 75
per cent of the student
body was housed by Beth-el
during the first se-mester.

Archeological dig unearths
fallen city's worship centers
by Kraig Klaudt
REPORT TO THE GLOBAL ARCHEOLOGICAL
SOCIETY, by Dr. Hyman Flyngruber, February 28,
2421.
On Monday, February 18, 2421, a dig site was estab-lished
on the northern sector of the ancient city of Paul,
within one kilometer of where the holy shrine of the
Golden Arches was recently uncovered.
After removing 20 meters of earth, our team of
archeologists entered into a large worship hall named
Home Away room. The entire temple was vacant, save
an orb of leather on the floor. It is assumed that "Wil-son,"
as it was known to the tribe, was an object of a
great worship rite. Other manuscripts lead us to believe
that attendance for this ritual was not required.
Beneath this chamber is located the arsenal for the
warriors of this civilization. Hand-carved clubs of var-ious
styles along with animal skin projectiles were
among the weapons found. The intricately crafted iron
statue of Nautilus, the god of strength, was also identi-fied.
It is known that the warriors would spend long
hours prostrating themselves before this deity preced-ing
battle with rival nationals.
On Tuesday, entrance was gained into undoubtedly
the most honored room of the city; the Kaby room. Here
the most important religious thoughts of the day were
preserved, undisturbed, on polyurethane disk. Though
not all of the collected works of theologians Evie and
Honeytree have been translated, those profundities
which have, like "Four-foot eleven and I'm going to
heaven," and "Go to church if you're uptight, go to
church morning, noon and night," will undoubtedly
shake the foundations of the neo-neo-new, improved
neo-evangelical theology of our time.
Mention should be made of the marvelous artwork
which graces the city of Welcome Founders, as we
believe it was called. Elaborate, white mosaic tiles of
intricate detail decorate every ceiling while the walls
are ornamented with individually hand-crafted bricks.
The exterior design of the buildings can be seen to be
pointing southward toward the puzzling Mammoth
Shell. It has been suggested that the buildings served to
guide spaceships in that direction.
Beyond the moat which surrounds the city there is a
large lot in the shape of a circle. We have called it the
"circle lot," although the ancients likely had a more
sophisticated title for it. On this lot, a gigantic collection
of metal sculptures of mammals was found. Forms of
the cougar, the mustang, the pontiac (now extinct) and
the pinto have been identified.
It remains a mystery what caused the demise of this
once great city. Did its citizens starve slowly to death in
their fortress of fear of barbarians around them? Or did
they simply abandon their city in apathy? Did this
civilization, like so many others, rot from decaying
morals? Or did it crumble under the weight of its own
legalism? Or was it another case of a city sold to the Job
Corps for profit?
Whatever the cause, it reminds us to again ask the
question, "What are great cities made of?"

IV, CCC plan evangelism activities
by Cliff Short
Discipleship and evan-gelism
are key terms that
describe the goals of Cam-pus
Crusade for Christ and
Inter-Varsity Christian Fel-lowship.
Both of these organiza-tions
offer opportunities
for Bethel students to be-come
involved this semes-ter
in Bible studies and
witnessing opportunities.
Campus Crusade pro-vides
a practical chance
for students to share their
faith in Christ with others
by witnessing at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota. Bill
Andrews, director of Cam-pus
Crusade, said, "Our
main purpose is to train
students in the basics of
sharing their faith in
Christ so that by the time
they leave Bethel, witness-ing
will be a way of life for
them."
To aid this training pro-cess,
Andrews has started
an evangelism training
class which is open to ev-eryone
on Thursdays from
7 to 8 p.m. in room FA306.
Campus Crusade groups
go to witness at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota dur-ing
these times: Tuesdays
from 10 to 2 and 3:30 to
6:30; Wednesdays from
3:30 to 6:30; and Thurs-days
from 3:30 to 6:30.
They leave from the coffee
shop.
Inter-Varsity sponsors
various Bible study groups
on campus which are di-vided
up into two main
emphases. There are sev-eral
small group Bible stud-ies
which emphasize dis-cipleship
and there are al-so
"In the Gap" study
groups which focus on
missions.
Bob Skinner, one of the
Inter-Varsity leaders on
campus, says, "Our main
purpose is to help students
become involved in ag-gressively
living the Chris-tian
life. We want them to
see their responsibility to
the Great Commissioh and
to develop an attitude and
lifestyle that emphasizes
evangelism."

Campus Crusade and In-ter-
Varsity will also pro-vide
opportunities for
training in evangelism dur-ing
spring break. "Opera-tion

Some of the most satis-fying
concerts I've been to
are those where I've been
totally surprised by the
performer. On Friday, Feb.
12, I went to the Andy
Pratt concert expecting a
couple hours of good but
easily forgettable enter-tainment.
Instead, I got a
dynamic performance of
sparkling, original songs.
Mark Heard's brief open-ing
set was enjoyable.
Mark Heard is a Georgian
singer-songwriter-guitar-ist.
His southern roots are
evident in his gutsy vocal
style, which resembles
Dickey Betts, formerly of
the Allman Brothers. On
the softer songs his voice
is similar to Neil Young.
The spirited rockers
such as "Growin' Up
Blind" and pleasant bal-lads
like "Divine Love" ex-hibited
his songwriting
knack. His naive tongue-in-
cheek sense of humor
and his satirical songs "I'm
In Chains" and "Be Like
Your Radio" highlighted
his performance.
Andy Pratt, though new
in the Christian music
scene, is not a new artist.
He has been around since
the early 70's and has five
albums out. He even yield-ed
an FM hit, "Avenging
Annie," in 1972.
While_ he was hailed by
critics in reputable maga-zines
such as Rolling
Stone as an innovative
force in rock music during
the 70's, Pratt was lar-gely
ingnored by conser-vative
American radio and
the record-buying public.
Mass appeal is often not a
reliable measure of good
art.
One of the assets out of
which Pratt's artistry
flows is his sincerity. This
was displayed in his per-formance
Friday night. He
is a meek and shy person
who seems uncomfortable
in verbalizing his thoughts
to the audience when he
isn't singing. He doesn't
try to hide his insecurities
by trying to be funny. He
isn't out to preach ser-monettes
between songs.
But when Pratt communi-cated
his testimony to the
audience before the song
"You Chose Me," his great
thankfulness in the saving
grace of God was evident.
He spoke in total honesty
and humility instead of
trying to conjure up some-thing
clever.
When Pratt was per-forming
his songs I never
got the feeling that he was
trying to perform for the
audience. The concert
seemed like an emotional
release for him. When he
sang and played, all of his
pent-up insecurities, joys,
and spiritual concerns
came to the surface for all
to see. His eyes weren't
looking outward at the au-dience
trying to make eye
contact with them as he
sang. They were looking
inside himself making con-tact
with his inner, most
personal feelings. It is only
a true artist that is willing
to be that vulnerable with
his audience.
Pratt is an especially
gifted singer and songwri-ter.
He showed great var-iety
in the compositions
he played. The opening
songs, "Karen's Song" and
"Rainbow," were straight-ahead
joyful rockers.
"Burn in the Fire," "Paper
Money," and "Fun in the
First World" were more
intense rock songs with
disturbing messages.
"Waiting For You" was
reminiscent of Super-tramp
and had a desperate
feel to it.
Pratt also did some sen-sitive
and affecting ballads
such as"Now We Are One"
and "You Chose Me." His
songs were all notable in
their intricate, glistening
arrangements and variety
of textures. They had in-fectious,
clever hooks that
would leap out and en-thrall
the audience.
Pratt's voice is one of
the most unique I've ever
heard. It has great range
and versatility. It is able
to pierce, soothe and melt.
On songs such as "Burn in
the Fire" and "Fun in the
First World" Pratt belted
out the apocalyptic mes-sage
with passion that
penetrated into the hard-est
areas of the heart. On
songs like "Who Will Be
My Friend" and "You
Chose Me," his voice com-forted
with its delicacy
and vulnerabilty. "Aveng-ing
Annie" and "Summer
Summer" displayed his
out-of-this-world falsetto.
Pratt's voice resembled
Larry Norman's some-times
and even had a
shade of Leon Russell—
for what comparisions are
worth.
Throughout the concert
Pratt showed his prowess
on the piano. On most of
his songs the piano was
the driving force of the
band. His improvisational
talents were shown in the
jazz-tinged solos on
"Thinking Thoughts" and
"All I Want Is You." He
also played acoustic gui-tar
with skill on "Now We
Are One" and "Who Will
Be My Friend."
Pratt's singing, song-writing
and playing was
accented by his profes-sional,
tight-Sounding
band. The lead guitarist
had a hard-rocking razor-sharp
sound, without
sounding heavy-metalish.
He had a great sense of the
appropriate leads and rhy-thyms
to interject in the
songs—there was a con-ciseness
in this playing.
His solos on songs such as
"All I Want Is You" were
climactic and imaginative.
The drums were compli-mentary
in laying down a
solid foundation for the
rest of the band.
There also was an extra
keyboard player who add-ed
another layer of color
with his synthesizer. The
keyboard and bass player
added some nice back-ground
vocal harmonies.
The band played as a unit
and gave a fresh, crisp,
enthusiastic performance.

It is hard to tell where
you might find Judy Mose-man,
assistant profes-sor
of education at Bethel,
at any given moment.
You might find her
playing football or bas-ketball
with her family.
Or you might find her
placing and supervising
education students in area
schools. But no matter
where you might find her
she would be doing one of
the many things required
to run a home and a career.
Moseman said it is chal-lenging
trying to balance
her family and profes-sional
commitments, "but
life would be nothing
without challenges," she
said with a smile. Al-though
she has worked
part-time since her first
child was six months old,
this is her first year in a
full-time position.
After graduating from
Bethel with "senior panic"
she met her husband
Steve while they were
both teaching at the same
school. Steve is presently
Dean at Capitol View
Middle School in Rose-ville.
The Mosemans have
three children: Heather,
12; Bart, 11; and Jed, 5.
Each summer the entire
family takes off to go
camping. The aim of these
camping trips, besides
relaxation and vacation,
is spiritual renewal and a
chance to really grow as a
family.
Before coming to Bethel
this year Moseman worked
in a similar position on a
"Hard to believe!"
This statement by sen-ior
debater Rick Kreutz-feldt
characterized the
Bethel College debate
team's recent visit to the
Valentine's Day Invita-tional
at Austin Peay Uni-versity
in Clarksville,
Tennessee.
The team attended the
debate tournament Feb-ruary
11 - 14 and competed
against top teams in the
southern part of the Uni-ted
States.
In the sixteen rounds of
preliminary competiton,
Bethel forged out an 8-8
record. Both teams ended
with an even 4 -4 record.
Representing the college
part-time basis at the Col-lege
of St. Catherines. In
deciding whether to stay
at St. Catherine's or come
to Bethel, Moseman said
she learned that the most
important thing in seek-ing
God's will was "not a
particular location but
rather that the commit-ment
to Christ was pre-sent."
Moseman said that
her choice of Bethel was a
family decision. "They
are delighted in my being
here," she said.
Moseman said her goal
as a teacher at Bethel is
"to motivate students to
be the best teachers pos-sible
and to teach them to
express their Christiani-ty."
She said, "I am so
pleased to see such an
extremely positive re-sponse
when I'm visiting
schools in which educa-tion
majors are doing their
student teaching."
The few spare moments
Moseman has are primar-ily
spent with her family.
She also works with 4-H
clubs and co-directs the 4-
H play in the spring. She
and her hu-sband teach the
Eager Beavers, a group of
kindergarteners through
second graders, at Salem
Baptist Church. Moseman
strives to spend her time
in activities in which her
children can also be in-volved.
Moseman graduated
from Bethel in 1965. She
earned her M.A. degree in
Education at the Univer-sity
of Minnesota in 1978.
Taking a few classes at a
time, she hopes to com-plete
her doctorate there
but says this is a long-range
goal.

said Lutton.
President Reagan spoke
at the breakfast, which

building where the assas-sination

Lundquist said that the

This `kachina' doll is one of 150 such carved figures which
exemplify the ceremonial splendor of the Hopi Indian religion.
It is part of an exhibit entitled "Hopi Kachina: Spirit of Life."
"Hopi Kachina: Spirit of
Life", a major exhibition
that pays homage to the
unique culture of Arizo-na's
Hopi Indians, opens
at the Science Museum of
Minnesota February 13,
and will continue through
May 31.
To the Hopi people the
kachina (spirit messen-gers)
have been central to
religious and ceremonial
life for centuries. Carved
representations, or ka-china
dolls, are used as
symbols of fertility. The
vitality of kachina rituals
and the central role they
play in Hopi life, past and
present, is conveyed in this
exhibition through music,
audio slide-shows and
more than 150 kachina
dolls.
In addition to the ka-china
dolls, there are two
large-scale models of vil-lages
depicting major ka-china
ceremonial events, a
full-scale Kiva (under-ground
ceremonial cham-ber)
hatchway and en-trance
ladder, and large
photomurals of kachina
dancers taken at the turn
of the century. Costumes
and ceremonial parapher-nalia
are shown along with
ceramics, jewelry, basket-ry,
and textiles. These
elements come together to
pregent a vibrant picture
of the lifeways of the Hopi.
"Hopi Kachina: Spirit of
Life" will be open during
museum hours: 9:30 am.
through 9 p.m. Tuesday
through Saturday, and 11
a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays,

Carpenter shop workers
Dan Miller and Charlie
Peterman have a perspec-tive
on Bethel College that
most students don't have.
"I see aspects of the build-ing
that most people don't
see," said Miller. "I get to
work in places like the
boiler room, above the ceil-ings,
in the steam tunnel
at the seminary—I get to
see the nitty-gritty side of
school."
Miller, a 1980 Bethel
graduate, is in his second
year as a full-time worker
in the carpenter shop.
Peterman, who has been
working at Bethel since
1965, is now a part-time
worker since retiring a
year and a half ago.
"Most of the work we do
is fixing broken furniture,
such as repairing chairs
and tables in the coffee
shop," said Peterman. "But
we also fix doors, replace
the broken coat hanger
pegs, hang bulletin boards
and black boards and do
special projects such as
making shelves, construct-ing
something for the Wel-come

FOR COLLEGE.
If you'd rather start college with the money to pay for it than finish college in debt, it
could pay you to consider two years in the Army. If you participate in the Army's
college financial assistance program, the money you save for college is matched
two-for-one by the government. Then, if you qualify, the Army will add up to $8,000

Hockey squad drops
three of four games
by John Clark
A schedule that would
throw fear even into the
hearts of seasoned NHL
veterans dealt a serious
blow to the Bethel Hockey
team's post-season play
hopes as the Royals drop-ped
three games in the
four contests played Feb.
8-12.
The week began well
enough as the Royals de-feated
the University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire, 4-3
in overtime with Jim La-
Porte netting the winning
goal. Unfortunately for
Bethel things took a turn
for the worse as fatigue
took its toll and resulted
in three straight confer-ence
losses.
On successive days
Bethel was dealt 6-4 de-feats
to Hamline and St.
Mary's respectively. An
extra day off didn't seem
to help the Royals as they
again were defeated, this
time by St. Thomas 3-1.
"We just weren't able to
put a consistent game to-gether,"
said Royal Coach
Craig Dahl in reviewing
the week. "That has been
by Wendy Norberg
Bethel's tracksters had
a very successful showing
in a triangular meet a-gainst
St. Olaf and the
University of Wisconsin-
River Falls last Saturday.
The Royal men scored 52
points to come between
St. Olaf with 80 and River
Falls with 33. And with
only 9 competitors the wo-men's
third place finish
was no indication of their
true performance.
Two first places were
turned in by the Bethel
women. Laurie Staurseth
won the 60 yard hurdles in
9.08, her first attempt at
that event. Co-captain
Danette Burgess ran 7.52
to dominate the 60 yard
dash. She then went on to
take third in the 300 yard
dash.
The Royals also took se-cond
place in both the shot
put and the 2 mile run.
Sara Barker threw 37'8",
her best effort this season,
and co-captain Wendy
Norberg ran her best time
of an 11:42.8.
Other personal records
were turned in by Penny
our problem all season
even when we win."
The three straight con-ference
defeats to the
MIAC lower division
teams were also tough to
swallow as the Royals'
playoff aspirations were
jeopardized,
"If we had won those
games we could have solid-ified
our position," said
Dahl, "but now Bethel's
chance for a postseason
berth is still up in the air."
Now Bethel faces the
difficult task of trying to
make the playoffs against
the MIAC's league leaders.
A crucial -home and home
series tonight and Satur-day
could decide the Roy-als'
fate as they take on
St. Olaf.
"It'll come down to how
well our goaltender does,"
said Dahl of the Royals'
chances.
Tonight's game will be
at Columbia Arena begin-ning
at 7:45 p.m., Satur-day's
game will be played
at Northfield. Bethel ends
its regular season Tues-day
when the Royals go
on the road to play St.
John's.
Marshall in the shot
(32'31 1/2"), Norberg in the
1500 (5:08.9), and Kim
Laird in the 300 (45.4).
Two more men qualified
for the Indoor National
meet, which highlighted
the men's events. "Satch"
Shaheed easily won the 60
yard dash in 6.41. and
Dave Jorgenson finished
second in the 600 in 1:15.3.
They will join Joe Moer-kerke
and Tom Plocker in
the Kansas City competi-tion
in two weeks.
Andy Larson also ran
well, taking second behind
Shaheed in the 60 yard
dash. But it was a day for
the middle distance run-ners,
as Bethel seemed to
dominate every race from
the 300 to the 600 yard
runs.
In the 300 Mike Dirks
took first in 33.5 followed
by teammate Jay Consta-ble
with a personal best of
34.2. Kurt Harle covered
fourth place in 34.8. Tom
Plocker won the 400 meter
dash in 51.2 and Dirks ran
again for third in that
event.
In the 600 Bethel's Jor-genson,
Don Hauser, and
by Ross Fleming
When Bethel traveled to
Northfield to play St. Olaf
the Olies were on an up-surge.
Their upsurge was
postponed by the Royal
team on a streak of its
own, and Bethel crushed
St. Olaf 100-77.
The Royals began the
romp by amassing a 26-4
lead eight minutes into the
game. St. Olaf did not
reach double-figure scor-
Jay VanLoon swept second
through fourth, respec-tively.
Topping off the
meet, the mile relay of Jor-genson,
Constable, Plocker
and Dirks won with an
exciting "from the gut ef-fort"
after each man on the
relay had previously com-peted
in at least two
events.
Bethel was also victor-ious
on the field as Eric
Marquardt, Doug Gamble,
and Tim Copeland took
second through fourth in
the shot put. First and
second places went to
Moerkerke and Mike Ren-strom
in the high jump.
Both jumped 6'6", which
was a freshman record for
Renstrom. Second place in
the triple jump went to
Steinar Engebretsen with
a 13.25 meter effort.
Both the men's and wo-men's
results could be
summed up in coach An-derson's
words, "Every-body
turned in good indi-vidual
efforts and seemed
to really give it their best."
The women travel to St.
Cloud tonight (Feb. 19) and
the men will compete at
the University of Minne-sota
Saturday afternoon.
ing until there were .nine
minutes remaining in the
first half. Meanwhile
Bethel, substituting fre-quently,
ran up 57 points
in the first half. Jason Vel-gersdyk
dominated the
game by scoring 24 points
and collecting ten re-bounds
in the first half.
Velgersdyk finished the
game with 31 points and
16 rebounds, a season
high.
The Royals continued to
lead in the second half by
as much as 35 at 75-40. As
a team Bethel shot 56 per
cent from the field. The
top three scorers for the
Royals shot very well: Vel-gersdyk-
65 per cent, An-dre
LaBerge-67 per cent
(and 15 points), and Dion
Wolter-an unusually good
75 per cent with 10 points.
In the assist depart-ment,
Bethel played its
best game of the year with
28 assists led by Billy Law-son's
eight and "Cat" Lau-ers
with seven.
Coach Palke used all 15
players in the contest.
Thirteen Royals took part
in the scoring; Randy Co-vert's
short jumper put the
Royals at the century
mark.
Last Saturday's Feb. 13,
game at home against•Gus-tavus
Adolphus turned
out to be a one-point vic-tory.
Coach Palke does not
believe it should have been
that close. The Royals
missed 17 or'23 free throw
attempts during the game
(including 13 of 15 in the
second half.) Bethel's 18
turnovers to the Gusties'
nine did not help matters.
Despite negative statistics
the Royals defeated a very
strong Gusty team 86-85

Double wins
boosts WBB
team record
by Mitch Anderson
With a pair of 9 point
victories over tough MIAC
rivals St. Olaf and Gusta-vus
Adolphus, the Bethel
women's basketball team
has won four straight
games to post a 9-7 record.
Sue Duehn led the Roy-als
both offensively and
defensively in the 74-65
win over the Olies, who
had defeated 11 of 13 op-ponents
this year. Duehn
scored 18 points and li-mited
the Olies' leading
scorer to 4 points.
The Bethel offensive
was clicking, as the four
Royals scored in double
figures.
The Royals worked just
as hard defensively, "We
shut off their two best
scorers and the rest of the
team could not pick up the
slack," said Coach Carol
Girdler.
Sharon Huisinga scored
22 points and Karen Al-meroth
poured in 14 points
and grabbed 14 rebounds
in the 65-55 win over the
visiting Gusties.
Both were key victories
in Bethel's drive for the
MIAIW state tournament
the end of February. With
only Hamline (Feb. 16, the
last home game of the sea-son),
Northwestern (Feb.
18), and Eau Claire (Feb.
23) left to play, the Royals
see page 7
close as the score would
indicate.
Bethel controlled the tern-po
from the outset by scor-ing
the first three baskets
of the game. In fact, Bethel
scored on seven of its first
nine possessions. Gusta-vus
was trying to get its
offense moving while the
Royals' offense poured in
25 field goals in the first
half at a 67 per cent clip.
Bethel had a 54-41 lead at
intermission.
The deciding factor for
the game may have been
Bethel's proficiency in
scoring nine baskets in the
last ten possessions of the
half. This was crucial, as
the Gusties outscored
Bethel by 12 points in the
second half.
